Personally, I find this to be phenomenal and believe that it will supercharge the interest in the sport beyond the handful of top brands (e.g. The newly expanded CFP will start in 2026 for sure and it’s possible that it could come sooner. We have finally reached the state where that constant gnawing and frustration can stop: the College Football Playoff Board of Managers (AKA the designated university president representative from each FBS conference and Notre Dame) has approved a 12-team playoff with the top 6 conference champions receiving bids along with 6 at-large slots. It was a bizarro world in how it’s the one instance where the powers that be failed the fans for not acting rationally in their own economic self-interests. Yet, when it came to the one money-chasing item on the agenda that fans actually wanted – a full college football playoff – the powers that be continued to fail to deliver over the years. What made it particularly frustrating is that we have witnessed universities and conferences chase every single dollar under the sun, whether it’s via conference realignment, TV contracts that require odd start times and travel for athletes, and pushing donors to fund everything from state-of-the-art locker rooms to the current zeal for NIL collectives. The best that we could say about the college football postseason is that it has gradually become less asinine over the years. If there’s one structural item in all of sports (whether college or pro) that has gnawed at me ever since I was a kid, it’s that the way that college football determines is champion is asinine. However, long before realignment became a year-in and year-out news story, I’ve been writing about and advocating for a legitimate full-scale college football playoff. Most of the readers here came to this blog because of my writings on conference realignment. USC-Wisconsin seems to be the most attractive “western” annual matchup from a national perspective, so that’s in both scenarios.Note that this is only realistically possible if Nebraska has both USC and UCLA as annual rivals (as Nebraska-Iowa would be preserved but Nebraska-Minnesota would be eliminated). The Trophy Games option would preserve or reinstate all trophy games from the “original Big Ten” era prior to Penn State joining the league.For instance, each Illinois school plays one California and one Indiana school annually. The Geography option took the 2 locked rivals for each school from the 11-team Big Ten era except for PSU-MSU and largely zippered matchups for multi-school states.No one has 3 marquee games or, on the flip side, 3 games destined for Peacock. In both scenarios, each school has at least one annual game with a larger brand (assuming that we can consider UCLA to be a brand name) for TV and competitive balance purposes.It is a good game, but always felt a bit forced as a rivalry for both sides and the TV networks absolutely 100% need Ohio State-Penn State to continue annually. Notably, that means Penn State-Michigan State goes away as an annual trophy game under both setups. Ohio State-Penn State is now generally the most-watched Big Ten game after Michigan-Ohio State, while the league’s East Coast strategy is based on tying Penn State with Rutgers and Maryland. The one school that has 3 clear rivals in all scenarios is Penn State with Ohio State, Rutgers and Maryland.Purdue – Indiana, Northwestern, Michigan State Michigan – Ohio State, Michigan State, Rutgers Michigan State – Michigan, Purdue, Maryland Ohio State – Michigan, Penn State, Indiana Maryland – Penn State, Rutgers, Michigan State Penn State – Rutgers, Maryland, Ohio State Assuming that the Big Ten will have 3 annual protected rivals for each school when USC and UCLA join, I’ve mapped out a couple of different potential matchup lineups: one more heavily based on pure geography and one with more priority to trophy games. With Big Ten expansion seemingly on pause for the moment, let’s take a look at how the scheduling might work in a 16-team Big Ten.

Despite some rewarding tracks, not my favourite Andrew Hill album, and overall, not an uplifting listen. With more LPs waiting a spin, Smokestack returns to the shelves. You will have to be the judge if it works for you. Roy Haynes, whose rhythmically tight propulsion had him dubbed Snap Crackle, is here sparring with piano, in a similarly abstract combat role. Many of Hill’s melodic lines deliberately wander out of key. Hill’s figures and runs often repeat with small variation, experimenting to search out what works.Two basses do not provide enough structure to contain Hill’s free rambling inclinations. However the title track, Smokestack, is introspective, dour and dissonant, without resolution, redemption or swing. The final track 30 Pier Avenue, address of The Lighthouse, serves up the most satisfying complexity. They are listening to each other, taking cues, that makes for good music. Davis echoes, mimics, and probes other directions. Hill’s piano offers a repeating melodic line embedded in delicate abstract tracery of notes. Khan sits out, and the trio with Davis offers an alternative take on Bill Evans/ Scott Lafaro, piano/bass telepathy, but between Richard Davis and Andrew Hill. Smokestack was rushed out in August 1966, the 11th hour before the Liberty took control.įor me, the highlight of the album is Verne, the only track in trio format. I think Hill misjudged the free jazz license Lion gave him, overstepped the mark, and rowed it back on his subsequent more successful recordings. My verdict: this is a complex album, and it is a tough one to love.Īlfred Lion was a great champion of Andrew Hill, yet he held this session back two and a half years, to make way for Black Fire and Judgement!, and the iconic Point of Departure. It’s subdued music that requires concentration, but doesn’t necessarily reward such effort.” Part of the problem is that Hill simply meanders throughout most of Smokestack, wandering off into quietly discordant sections that turn in on themselves. “… with its long, winding modal improvisations and hazy song structures, it’s a lot less accessible than bop. An unconventional quartet leads to an unconventional outcome. Khan takes on the drummer’s time-keeping role, which leaves Roy Haynes sparring with Andrew Hill in the front line. Davis is a colorist, adding melodic and percussive layers. OK, here goes, warning, it’s a mixed bag.Īndrew Hill, piano Richard Davis, Eddie Khan, bass Roy Haynes, drums recorded Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, December 13, 1963, released two and a half years later, in August 1966, by my reckoning, Plastylite’s last pressing for Blue Note.Īn unconventional quartet, with a constantly evolving mix of two bass players, Richard Davis and Eddie Khan. LJC reader Ed challenged me to write up Smokestack, the one Andrew Hill Blue Note in my collection I had omitted to review. “LJC, any chance of doing a post on ‘Smokestack’? That’s one I would really like to see” The focus remains music first, only incidentally the Collector angle.

The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. Our figures are checked against thousands of individual user ratings. Effective speed is adjusted by current prices to yield value for money. We calculate effective 3D speed which estimates gaming performance for the top 12 games. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. Graphics Card Rankings (Price vs Performance) September 2023 GPU Rankings. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. 750 Ti outperforms 750 by 16 in our combined benchmark results. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general.
